Curiosity Killed the Baby
Curiosity Killed the Baby. The big pharmaceutical and advertiser supported brain studies have now entered the minds of babies and this book touts it as a good thing. Giving up their time to take the time from the infant and experimenting on a baby with the “tools” of developmental psychology! The tools are brain implants and communications ...

Re: Hitchens is the bane of existence's existence
A common over-simplification repeated ad infinitum [is] that in counties with totalitarian governments (with control of media, suppression of free expression, etc.) is that ''they hate us''. [i.e. ''us'' being Gr. Britain, U.S.A. Israel. 'the west']. The past two weeks have finally put paid to this notion. Its quite glaringly and graphically ...

This article is one-sided and insulting
While the author says there is no evidence that co-sleeping is beneficial to parents and child, that is simply not true. There are a deluge of studies that support co-sleeping, not to mention the fact that SIDS is unknown in cultures where co-sleeping is the norm. Further, the author sites only this one recent study to support his sweeping ...

Death Rates
The journal article in question, ''US Infant Mortality Trends...'' shows that while ASSB (rollover, etc) deaths increased from 2.8 to 12.5 per 100,000 over the 20year study, SIDs deaths decreased from 142.9 to 54.6 per 100,000. Although they do a poor job of correlating cosleeping with these rate changes, it looks to me like a correlation is in ...

Campaign for Safe Cosmetics responds
Nina Rastogi levels a serious, and uninformed, charge in her column that the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics is “overstating the science.” It seems that Nina might have fallen prey to the same deliberate disinformation from the chemical industry that has us all wondering how much we can trust products on ...

good article w/compeling evidence, though it makes me wonder
This article was very interesting and I definitely will take some things to heart, especially about the risks of suffocation, and the evidence is very compelling, it makes me want to be more careful. However, I'm always weary about anyone make arguments based on studies and question any study and how it was conducted and I will study more of it ...

the family bed ... no pitchforks
As a critical-thinking father who's shared his bed with a wife and baby for going on 20 months now, I can say that while co-sleeping should be examined and questioned (as should all baby-related activities), it's also not necessarily the risk that studies and critics make it out to be. I've heard of a few tragic suffocation cases in my area over ...

Reasoning
Alright guys enough of this bantering back and forth. Plenty of people seem to have a friend who's child died from accidental suffocation or knows someone who had it happen or something of that nature, and I certainly don't undermine your suffering. It is truly tragic when anyone dies unexpectedly before their time, much less someone that young. ...
